Job Title: Machine Learning Engineer Consultant - Experienced

Location: Cambridge, United Kingdom

Contract: Permanent

Breakthrough technology is vital for strengthening the UK’s Defence and Homeland Security. As an AI/ML Engineer Consultant at Awerian, you will be at the forefront of this innovation race to defend and protect the UK from the latest technological and cyber threats.

Your work will have a real-world impact. You will get to explore pioneering concepts by collaborating with elite multi-disciplinary teams of highly educated and skilled scientists, engineers, and designers. You’ll see ideas become a reality as you create prototypes through Awerian’s rapid approach to design and implementation. It’s a fantastically challenging, varied, and agile role.

You will tackle diverse, real-world challenges from the ground up using your experience in designing and deploying systems that apply ML to a broad range of tasks, pulling together third-party components, as well as building elements yourself.

Awerian’s wide variety of intriguing projects, from proof-of-concept through to working prototypes, provide both intellectual and practical challenges giving opportunity to flex your problem-solving skills and creativity to devise innovative solutions.

The projects will test your broad exposure to the ML development cycle: data I/O, cleaning and preparation, rapid code prototyping, iterating model designs and deploying and packaging code into client-ready products. The sense of job satisfaction will be tangible as you stretch your knowledge and capabilities into new areas of pioneering research and development.

Requirements

You will have a track record of academic excellence, hold a relevant degree, and have proven technical capabilities. You will need a strong foundation in Python and current ML frameworks and notable experience in a number of the following areas:


  • familiarity with popular ML libraries and frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras and scikit-learn,
  • experience with neural network architectures, deep learning techniques, and building and training deep learning models,
  • creating and handling large datasets including pre-processing steps and familiarity with data manipulation libraries like Pandas, NumPy, and data visualization tools such as Matplotlib or Seaborn,
  • hands-on experience of building ML solutions for resource-constrained situations and deploying to edge-processing platforms,
  • experience with emerging technologies such as GANs, LLMs, RL or XAI.


We are keen to hear from AI/ML engineers with experience in any sector.

Job-Hunting During Economic Uncertainty: Machine Learning Edition

Machine learning (ML) has firmly established itself as a crucial part of modern technology, powering everything from personalised recommendations and fraud detection to advanced robotics and predictive maintenance. Both start-ups and multinational corporations depend on machine learning engineers and data experts to gain a competitive edge via data-driven insights and automation. However, even this high-demand sector can experience a downturn when broader economic forces—such as global recessions, wavering investor confidence, or unforeseen financial events—lead to more selective hiring, stricter budgets, and lengthier recruitment cycles. For ML professionals, the result can be fewer available positions, more rivals applying for each role, or narrower project scopes. Nevertheless, the paradox is that organisations still require skilled ML practitioners to optimise operations, explore new revenue channels, and cope with fast-changing market conditions. This guide aims to help you adjust your job-hunting tactics to these challenges, so you can still secure a fulfilling position despite uncertain economic headwinds. We will cover: How market volatility influences machine learning recruitment and your subsequent steps. Effective strategies to distinguish yourself when the field becomes more discerning. Ways to showcase your technical and interpersonal skills with tangible business impact. Methods for maintaining morale and momentum throughout potentially protracted hiring processes. How www.machinelearningjobs.co.uk can direct you towards the right opportunities in machine learning. By sharpening your professional profile, aligning your abilities with in-demand areas, and engaging with a focused ML community, you can position yourself for success—even in challenging financial conditions.
